Even if there wasn't - which is a hilarious notion in and of itself - there are hundreds of places in the US one could consider ahead of the turd known as Atlantic City.
Maybe he hasn't been anywhere but LI, NYC and Atlantic City so he doesn't have much to compare?
That's really my main rant too. If we had property taxes as low as in NYC, I wouldn't have much complaining to do about LI.
If you had property taxes as low as NYC then you more than likely would start complaining! The services would plummet and the schools would go to seed. And NYC makes up for low property taxes by having a resident income tax. I'm sure a Long Island income tax wouldn't be too popular.

That's the tripe they want us to believe. Yeah, my son's 1st grade education would plummet if his teacher only made $90k instead of $125k?! Too funny. Drop my taxes to NYC levels and I'd pay a resident income tax in a heartbeat. Quick guess is it would be an easy $3 or $4k savings a yr.

no way dude. Don't you know the youth of Syosset and Jericho would stop taking AP classes and start running with the Bloods and Crips OVERNIGHT!

So, with this blissful insight, I should be shooting off fireworks out of my orifice every time my taxes increase because that would mean the kids are getting a better education? - as for our "services"...we have a mass transit system that is useless for traveling intra county (Suffolk) and inter (from mid/eastern Suffolk to Nassau). We should be getting a lot more for what we pay.....and, we're not.
Oh yeah I forgot, its that time of the year again.... the time for inaction !!
blah blah blah blah for 3423 posts and then.... school budgets pass with (insert your % here) increase.... end of story.
Please - state mandates have already decided where most of your money is going - the 2% cap is nothing - fighting over the scraps. I bet the half of you here have no idea how your taxes are distributed - just some vague notion of "overpaid workers"
Yes or no to the 2% cap won't be doing much - you've already been sold down the river by Albany in previous decades.
